10-Minute Vehicle Key Learn
Note:
• This procedure will only learn the vehicle keys. This procedure will not learn the immobilizer pre-release password or the challenge/response data. Do not use this procedure as a substitute for a 10-minute relearn when replacing or reprogramming
a body control module (BCM) or engine control module (ECM). • A total of 8 keys may be programmed to a single vehicle. • This procedure adds keys only. The procedure does not erase previously learned keys. • The keys to be learned must duplicate the mechanical cut of the current key.
This 10-minute learn procedure should be used when a new vehicle key is desired to be programmed.
- Connect a scan tool to the vehicle.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Ensure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle.
- On the scan tool, select Service Programming System and follow the on-screen instructions. Ensure the correct programming selection is chosen based on component being replaced or programmed. For this procedure, go to the BCM Configuration/Reset Functions menu and choose the Configure New Module or Remove/Reset Module selection.
- At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10-minute learn procedure.
- Observe the scan tool, after approximately 10 minutes the scan tool will display "Programming Successful, Turn OFF Ignition". The vehicle is now ready to learn the key information and/or the passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK.
- With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
Note:
• The scan tool will initially display 12 Minutes. The first 2 minutes allow the scan tool to initialize the appropriate control module. The remaining 10 minutes is the relearn timer. • On some vehicles the security indicator may be illuminated for the duration of the 10-minute learn procedure.
